A savings holiday

Hey Bridget! It happens to be America Saves Week. I'm not sure when this designation came about, but at least it doesn't require sending anyone a card to celebrate it, or throwing a party or, showing your affection with a dozen roses.

It couldn't come at a better time for many of us, eh?

The website offers tips and factoids -- such as Americans are sitting on $15 billion in loose change -- and success stories about people who couldn't believe they could ever become savers.

I realize most people don't think they have a lot of money to spare right now for savings, including me. But it might be worth taking a look to see if there isn't something you can do.
